Event Description
- Full Description:
- How do animals communicate? Can they be taught a human language?
The answers to these questions, plus more will be explored by Yale University's Professor Stephen R. Anderson at the School of Languages and Cultures first Public Lecture for 2015.
"In this talk, I will survey a range of the wonderful and ecologically appropriate ways in which animals communicate, and point out the ways in which the properties of human language that give it its power in our lives are absent in these systems", says Professor Anderson.
Professor Anderson is the Dorothy R. Diebold Professor of Linguistics and Professor of Psychology and Cognitive Science at Yale University, where he has taught since 1994.
The lecture will be followed by a reception, with light refreshments. Places are limited, hence we suggest you register as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
